melindamaureen 's review for:
Toobin is no Capote. I respect the research and multi-faceted approach to the story. It is already a compelling story and his style held me in suspend.
He neither vilifies or celebrates, presenting instead narratives of people who got caught up in ideas and plans that got away from them. I was also really compelled by the way he talks of Hearst as this sort of magnet - that she has this ability to attract and magnetize those in her life, even after (though he slips a few times in approaching the Wolfe relationship saying at first it is rape and then referencing her attraction to him later as if their relationship WAS consensual).
I also hate the ending line "She turned into her mother" which regardless of how neutral her mother comes across is also a highly coded dig (especially since it is made clear Hearst did not want to be her mother) - it just comes off a bit smug.
Also, one of the most surprising things to learn was John Wayne was a Patty Hearst supporter.
